I have noticed in the article how they used the term Key Whistleblower.

Watch out Vince because they are trying to pull the wool over the Public's eyes and discount you as a Whistleblower.

In the law of Whistleblowing, it never dictates who tells about the activity first, it only states that if You Disclose Information. And what about the OIG turning a blinds eye on selective complaints?

If they go that route, they will also need to explain the Whistleblowing information that's been disclosed and not investigated.

So once again, Vince watch out. They have their Attorneys working overtime on the wording!

Chalk one up for truth and honesty. Just a shame it has taken so long.

Just saw a Fox News Report that John Dodson "has been cleared by his ATF bosses and is now being hailed for the "essential role" he played in exposing the program."

Good for you, John!

Vincent, I hope you're next!

Yes, well thought out calculated protection. No demotion, no demand he pay back dbl dip money, and no charges for lying, gross mismanagement or loss of benefits. I'll break this down and everybody can decide whether justice has been served. McMahon, is eligible to retire in December, they helped him get a high powered job with the very company who holds the ATF credit card contract. They can and will drag out the termination process well past his retirement date. The fact that they PROPOSED it doesn't mean ANYTHING. He ALREADY has a job, so it will not impact his employability. He will get FULL SES retirement benefits, with NO consequences. Thereby, greenlighting many more abuses of authority in the future. YOU CANNOT terminate somebody who has already retired. And Mr. Jones and Brandon KNOW this. Like I said, CALCULATED. More to follow.

Im not the brightest bulb in the pack but does it seem like that the corruption is so widespread in upper mgmt that it would be very unwise for anyone to piss anyone else off by doing anything rash for fear of a upper mgmt type turning whistleblower too?
Seems to me with so much corruption that everyone would know something about everyone else at this point, making it dangerous to do anything that might make one of these guys get vindictive.
thoughts?

Of course the "punishment" is a fugazy. If it were real it would have been done swiftly - something on the order of demoting him to a GS-10 and reassigning him to Camden where he would be placed under strict supervision and assigned to make gun cases - no adoptions mind you.
Now hypothetically speaking if were one to use his influence to cause someone to be promoted, knowing that in turn for such consideration he expected a private sector job from someone close to the promotee - well that might be wrong.
As the fictitious character Professor Henry Higgins said " You see, the great secret, Eliza, is not a question of good manners or bad manners, or any particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls. The question is not whether I treat you rudely, but whether you've ever heard me treat anyone else better."

Yeah, him and Imelda's shoes are in the same trash heap. Good riddance. A fraud who was protected too long. The real question. Can anyone undo his damage.

[Cobra]

Anyone,

Rumors are flying that McMahon and Newell were terminated? Anyone know anything?
